I did a little experiment yesterday with the Kreinik Japan No 7 thread. I really wanted to see how it would go, in case I decide that I want to use gold thread on my beret. I don’t think real metallic thread would be happy about being rained on. Kreinik Japan No 7 thread is […] Yesterday when I was cheeky enough to ask my local needlework shop why they didn’t have my new book in, during the conversation the shopowner asked me “Are you left-handed?” I replied that I am. When she heard that The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion was due out in August, she asked why I can write the […] I went along to my local craft, knitting, quilting and needlework shop yesterday. I am very fortunate because I can walk only 15 minutes from my home and be there. I realise that this will make many of you jealous! I was wanting to look at fabrics to use for my samplers. I knew that […] I have now uploaded all the relevant pages so that you can pre-order your copy of The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: a step-by-step stitch dictionary. At a glance: The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: a step-by-step stitch dictionary by Yvette Stanton 160 pages Paperback 195 x 275 mm / 7 5/8 x 10 7/8 in 170+ embroidery […] For those who can’t wait, I’ve now put up a turn-the page preview of ‘The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion’. I’m not embedding it here this time, as I feel it is too memory intensive, especially for those who aren’t actually interested. But for those 90% of the population who are interested (I’m sure there’d be that […] I just found out that “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” has been named Book of the Month by the Royal School of Needlework’s shop! Yay! I’m also after a copy of Mary Hickmott’s New Stitches magazine which apparently has reviewed the book in the latest issue. I emailed New Stitches, and they’re very kindly sending me […] I found yet another review the other day, for my book The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. JennyFlowerBlue is another right-handed embroiderer who wishes she was left-handed! I wish I was left-handed, no really I do. This book; ‘The left handed embroiderer’s companion’ by Yvette Stanton is a BRILLIANT stitch dictionary. The illustrations are crystal […] Today I have a sneak preview of the likely new cover of “The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion”. It is designed to complement the cover of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. I had so much fun doing the embroidery for this cover. You can see that I have used the Colourstreams hand-dyed felt (in “Monet” colour) that arrived […] My felt from Colourstreams arrived the other day. I’ll be using this to work the cover embroidery for “The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” on. I had spoken with Robyn about the fact that I’d prefer “directional” colour, rather than eyedropped blobs of colour. As most people want blobs, she said she’d dye some specifically for me. […] Yesterday I received the ISBN and the barcode for ‘The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion’ – my next stitch dictionary. This all makes it quite official that the book is going ahead!
